The error path in fill_cache() does return before the allocated buffer
is freed leaking the buffer.
The leak was introduced when fill_cache_read() started to return errors
in commit
c7b607fa9325 ("selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer
dereference on open failed"), before that both fill functions always
returned 0.
Move free() earlier to prevent the mem leak.
